Does anyone know if there are files available for a fee or free for this light that is shown on the website splash page? Thanks.

Conveniently, you’re not the first to ask this question!

Mid century pendant shade- no clue how to create the file

Ok, I’ll play, if only because my design tools and approach are different from what’s been presented so far. I use OpenSCAD for the bulk of my 2D and 3D design work. This excellent, free, open-source package is geared toward programming/math types, and you specify your drawing by writing a text script in one window that is evaluated to generate a 2D shape (SVG file) or 3D volume (STL file). This lampshade is composed of two easily visualized parts, so I simply created a ring with evenly-spaced…

Thank you. New to the community and just placed an order for the Pro.

They only officially released a few of their advertising designs, and a few more have been recreated by forum members. This place right here is the best accessory that has

If you already design in vectors and rasters - great! If not, use this time before your new Pro arrives to figure out a program for each. The recommended, and free, vector program is Inkscape. I adore it - other’s hate it For rasters I use GetPaint.net, and I know GIMP is also popular.

Also, when your Pro arrives you will 100% want to dive right in. Do yourself a huge favor and dive into the First Prints section of the support page. It’ll both teach you the ins and outs of the in particular, but also the terminology and tips and tricks you’ll see mentioned off hand here so often!

Welcome Looking forward to seeing what you make

How much do you think it would cost in Proofgrade? $200

[soulcraftmakers]

Thanks. Appreciate it.

Nice looking, but a bunch of sheets there. I hadn’t looked at the prices since Cherry ply was $16 each. The stuff is great to ‘get er done’ quick, but one could save a bunch buying from a lumber yard and finishing it yourself.

I figure 8 per sheet near11" per and 28 used so it is possibe to do in 4 sheets or one 20x48 sheet. Bigger could take up to 30 sheets.

That’s a good way to put it.

Yes, just a question of focus.
